Yes, sorry I've missed some of these points. I'm trying to balance real
work and this discussion. You're right that we could just "borrow"
LATEST_LINK for the options purpose, but it will require your
re-ordering patch that will require testing on bento.
So, the way I see it, we could keep things the way they are and wait for
the next experimental build cycle, or commit a UNIQUENAME patch that is
temporary until LATEST_LINK can be evaluated. Once that gets decided,
we can PR the patch we want tested.
